Just finished the final work on the tail surfaces. The control arms are added and all is hidden nicely from the outside.

Also, took the time to paint the trailing surfaces of the vertical fin and stab (where the hinges go) to match the green zinc chromate of the full scale.

Posted in Yellow P-47 build, stab with tags elevator, hinge, stab on June 5, 2009 by rcscalebuilderAnd to round out today’s work, the elevator and stab halves are hinged.

I will have to trim a little bit of the stab’s trailing edge “cover” to allow a bit more stab throw, but that’s a relatively easy thing.
